Fighting to stay in contention for a place in the round of 16, Spanish powerhouses Real Madrid will face off against Pachuca in their second match of the FIFA Club World Cup on Sunday.

Manager Xabi Alonso experienced a frustrating start as Real Madrid kicked off their tournament campaign with a 1-1 draw against Al-Hilal. The team faced challenges in their initial match, largely due to the absence of their star forward Kylian Mbappe, who was sidelined by illness.

Currently, Los Blancos hold the second position in Group H; a victory over Pachuca will keep their knockout stage ambitions alive. Xabi Alonso’s squad entered this tournament as strong favorites, given their stature and experience in international competitions.

Conversely, Pachuca also struggled in their opening match, succumbing to a 2-1 defeat against Austrian side Salzburg. Jaime Lozano’s team faces elimination if they cannot secure a win against Real Madrid this Sunday. They have had a rocky spell, managing just one victory in their last five matches across all competitions, but shouldn’t be underestimated.

This matchup isn’t the first encounter between these squads; they previously faced each other in December of last year during the FIFA Intercontinental Cup, where the Spanish club triumphed with a solid 3-0 win against the 2024 CONCACAF Champions Cup victors.

The Sporting News provides essential information ahead of the match, including viewing options, kickoff timings, and the latest squad updates.
